I know, this list is inspired from Martin_Canine's songs list.

The Top Ten

1Lateralus - Tool

Lateralus is one of Alternative Metal's greatest albums. It surprises me it's not on the list. - Mumbizz01

Thank you for putting this at #1. It's seriously one of the greatest albums of this century. - cjWriter1997

One of the best albums of all time, no question about it.

2My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy - Kanye West

This album proves to you that some mainstream hip-hop can't be bad after all. - Mumbizz01

It should replace Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band on the list.

#353 on the 2012 edition - djpenquin999

My bad. I did my perfect research on a website called "Genius" And I must of not noticed. Sorry 'bout that. - Mumbizz01

3Illinois - Sufjan Stevens

4To Be Kind - Swans

This is an severely overlooked album. Not many know about this album except people who like more obscure music genres. But this is probably one of the most atmospheric, chilling and creative experiences I have ever heard. - cjWriter1997

5MBV - My Bloody Valentine

This was the first album in such a long time by My Bloody Valentine. Should be on the list. - Mumbizz01

6Blackstar - David Bowie

Blackstar was the final album by Bowie just before he died two days later. And this was his swan song. Deserves to be on the list. - Mumbizz01

7Madvilliany - Madvillian

8Blackwater Park - Opeth

9Dopethrone - Electric Wizard

10Merriweather Post Pavilion - Animal Collective

The Contenders

11Mutter - Rammstein

Not only was this album a massive blockbuster in their home country, it was also a huge hit internationally and with "Mein Herz brennt" and "Sonne" has two of their best known songs. It also had great reviews. Please, a Rammstein album should be on the list. If not "Sehnsucht", then "Mutter". - Martin_Canine

Had songs like "Sing for the Moment", "Cleaning Out My Closet", "Till I Colapse" and "Without Me" and is considered one of Eminem's greatest. - Martin_Canine

1521 - Adele

I am very sure this album will become a classic in the future.Adele is generally acclaimed by critics and both mainstream and indie audiences of every age and gender. Adele is a great songwriter and has a certain nostalgic charm but nevertheless is very modern. - Martin_Canine
